Louisianas- Favorites, Rebloomers, and shady ones

I'm here Carolyn, back from a week in the iris beds (among other places). 

Favorites:

Don't forget COLORIFIC (Mertzweiller 78)! - the closest to an amoena in 
the LAs, nice bright violet falls and white standards with a violet 
midrib and veins.  I'll also second DIXIE DEB (I'm partial to the open, 
species like, form) and SEA WISP (beautiful blue!)

Rebloom:

I. fulva has often rebloomed for me, but it seems to come at the expense 
of the next season's bloom.

Shade tolerant LAs:

DIXIE DEB is supposed to do well. I have a clump of CAROLYN LAPOINT (rose 
bicolor with green style arms) doing pretty in the shade.  It's not a 
vigorous as in the sun, but it blooms well.  Iris nelsonii is also 
supposed to take fairly dense shade.
